Den A...you might have noticed RNG has been our intermediate term trend stock list for a long time...we don't list all new highs just some of the heavily institutionally traded stocks that trade heavy options volume...RNG is a lighter dollar volume stock with relatively light options volume that has a great trend, therefore listed in our intermediate term trend stock list...thanks for the input...Dave
